I am watching a minnow/feeder-it looked pregnant-I never had a pregnant minnow b4 so I thought"kool"at first......the feeder has just pooped out 2 worms and another one is going in and out of the fish-its freakin nasty!!!!it tries to get it out and the stomach goes down-then it goes back inside and the stomach blows up again!its so nasty!!!Its got like a little black head and looks like a white tape worm I guess b/c its totally flat.I always quarantine my feeders and treat them b4 feeding for a min.of a week.but,I think I may have to just throw them all in the toilet now.I got mollies,andfancy guppies that I breed for food but I had to use my quarantine tank for a beat up fish and threw the feeders into my other home bred tank/feeder project.wtf do I do now???Should I just kill the whole tank to avoid killing my prized fish?SOB!:nilly:
 
This is nasty!Its almost out and then-wham!the worm goes back inside and the stomach gets huge again.:WHOA:
 
i wouldnt kill the whole tank but it would :ROFL:
 
Thats just nasty man! Haha poor bloody fish. Well i would treat them if there are a lot its not difficult to treat probs just need a couple of quids worth of treatment but dont risk your prize fish that would be crap if your pride and joy died.
 
Take out the affected fish first. Then for awhile observe your other fish. If later it appears they are now sick, then get rid of them. Of course you can treat them for worms/parasites before getting rid of them.
 
you know what, know that i stopped rofling, i would recommend killing the whole tank. not worth it to treat a feeder who is :barf:
